In a nutshell

Do
you have a love for travel and data? Are you already managing data as an asset,
or determining its strategy, or a Data Scientist / Advanced Analyst who is
thinking of moving into product management? Does the idea of product managing and
driving value out of data(sets) in an airline make you excited? If so, you
might be the right candidate we are looking for at Virgin Atlantic.

major airline has done. We are taking our pioneering spirit that began in 1984
and applying that to the digital and data world that we live in today. We are
taking a huge step forward in piloting a cloud-first approach to our data and
are looking to use our unique Virgin flair to provide an unmatched personalised
service on board enabled by a 21st century approach to data.

As such we are looking for a Product Manager to work
on bringing business value through building our data platform and catalogue of
data in the cloud. Our platform is nascent and our data is untapped. You will
be a part of the creation of a new team dedicated to solving difficult problems
and utilising data across the business to build the next generation of tools to

very much hands on in creating a new paradigm for a well-loved brand.

About you

With
proven experience as a product manager delivering features from start to finish
in an Agile environment. You’ll be entrepreneurial, inquisitive and have a
relentless focus on delivering business value. You will have shown success in
driving data change in non-tech focused businesses and dedication to
collaboration whilst doing so. People follow you because you’re inspiring, not
because you are their boss. You need to be determined, focused on results, a
self-starter, and have demonstrated success in using data to drive the
understanding, progression, and business value in optimising a customer journey
or in a commercial / marketing / sales world.

within a large matrix organization then we want to hear from you!
